IMPROVEMENT IN CHURNS.

Specification forming part of Letters PatentNo. 143,612, dated Octobtr 14, 1873; application led August 4, 1873.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that we, JOSEPH L. BRITT and TROY R. BRITT, of Raleigh in the county of Wake and State of North arolina, have invented a new and Improved Ohurn, of which the following is a speciication:

Our invention consists of a peculiar and simple arrangement of supports for the dash-V ers and operating mechanismfthe said supports being mounted on the churntop, so that the dashers and driving-gear are all removed when the cover is taken off, to afford unobstructed access to the churn-case.

Figure l is a sectional elevation of a churn constructed according to our invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the dashers and section of thecover and lower crank-shaft.

the cover'nearly to thebottom of the churn, near which two rotary dashers, G, are mounted on a horizontal crank-shaft, H. I is the dasher 5 :it is connected at the upper end to the crankshaft F, to be worked by it, and at the lower end to the crank-shaft H, to work the rotary dashers. The dasher works freely through a slot o'r hole .in the churn; top bars O are firmly attached to the top. The combined action of the two dashers intensiies the agitation of the cream largely7 and correspondingly shortens the time required to produce the butter.

vThe arrangement of apparatus for producing the two actions is very simple and cheap.

Having thus described our invention, we

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The rotating dashers, reciprocating dasher, and the operating-gear arranged in the frame O D,`and said frame attached to the removable churn-top, substantially as specified.
